A classic kugel recipe, just the right amount of dense and rich, with a sprinkling of raisins and a slightly secret ingredient from my grandfather. Perfect for Rosh Hashana or the break fast meal on Yom Kippur.

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter (cut into pieces, plus extra for buttering the pan)
1 cup raisins
Grated zest and strained juice of 1 orange
1 package (12 ounces wide egg noodles)
6 large eggs
2 cups cottage cheese
2 cups sour cream
2 cups whole milk
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher or coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine the raisins and the orange juice and set aside to soak. Cook the noodles according to the package directions.
  • Whisk together the orange zest, eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Add the plumped raisins and up to 1 tablespoon of any remaining juice.

  • Bake the kugel until a bit bubbly around the edges, well set, and pretty well browned, 1 hour and 15 minutes. Broil it for 1 or 2 minutes if you like a really crunchy top.
  • Transfer the kugel to a wire rack and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. It is great warm or at room temperature.

NOODLE KUGEL



Noodle Kugel image

Phyllis Roberts of Monsey, New York, writes: "I serve this noodle kugel as part of the meal that marks the conclusion of Yom Kippur. It is traditional to serve a dairy repast, which in my family consists of bagels, smoked salmon, salads, and this sweet kugel. This particular recipe is a slight variation on the kugel made by my Aunt Raye, who is one of the best cooks on the planet."

EXCITING NOODLE KUGEL



Exciting Noodle Kugel image

This savory kugel, a Jewish baked noodle pudding, comes from a 1950 spiral-bound cookbook that was compiled by the women of a synagogue in suburban Larchmont, N.Y. They called it Exciting Baked Noodles, and it included what were then considered secret ingredients: Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce. To update it, use high-quality pappardelle egg noodles, which add richness. A sprinkling of chives brings flecks of color to the finished casserole.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality egg noodles. Fresh noodles will cook more evenly and have a better texture than dried noodles.
  • If you don't have a kugelhopf pan, you can use a bundt pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make sure the kugel is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the kugel is done.
  • Let the kugel cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the kugel warm or at room temperature. It can be eaten as a main course or a side dish.

Conclusion:

Noodle kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great option for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a noodle kugel that your family and friends will love.
